Chapter 37

George after everything that I’ve done and tried to keep you happy you still not satisfied with me. You keep on speaking about your ex that doesn’t even want you anymore Lynn says.

You don’t speak about my wife like that do you hear me George says after he hit her through the face.

Lynn fell on the floor with blood streaming out of her mouth.

I want my kids back and you don’t have the right to talk about my wife or my kids he says.

I’m sorry baby Lynn says.

Don’t baby me George says and Lynn got up and took her bag.

Where do you think you going? He asks.

I was thinking of rather going home see that you are not in a good mood she says.

No stay with me George says and he pulled her closer.

Lynn dropped her bag on the floor and went to go sit on his lap and started kissing him. she started undressing herself and then helped George to take off his clothes. Lynn and George were intimate but what she didn’t know was that he was plotting to get her to help him get Mel and the kids back. Lynn was naïve and thought that he loved her.

Back at Ethan’s house the maid cooked them breakfast and Mel, Ethan and Maria was sitting at the table.

Baby when is your first day at the office Ethan ask.

Al and myself decided on tomorrow and asked Tracy to put a sign on the front door Mel replies.

Perfect Ethan replies. I know you want Maria to be close to you so you can do a couple of things for her. Like taking her for shopping and spoil her a bit.

You really don’t have to do all of that for me child Maria says.

No I want to mama. Ethan is right we need to spend time and I would love to spoil you. Luckily I have a boyfriend that gave me my own credit card Mel joked and winked at Ethan.

Anything for you my love he says and smiled back at her.

You are so blessed with a good person child, I know mama. He came in my life when I needed someone and his been there ever since Mel says.

Do you guys ever plan on getting married? Maria asks.

I am ready Maria but I really want Mel to be ready too. I’ve been alone for some time now and I’m too old to go and look for girlfriends every night so wants to settle down with the one that I love Ethan says.

You old? No baby you not old Mel says.

I don’t want to do the chasing like a young man does Ethan says.

That’s called maturity Maria says. He’s got what he needs and that’s enough.

That’s what I’m trying to explain yes Ethan says.

But baby we never spoke about marriage before and I know it’s because you want to give me time, but I love you too. Yes the business means a lot to me now but I also have you and the kids to think of and now I have my mama too.

That’s called balancing your life my angel Maria says.

Yes mama Mel replies.

I don’t have clothes here so I would have to go home and get something there Mel says.

No need love I made some calls for you to wear something nice yet comfy. I asked about something for you too Maria. I hope you don’t mind Ethan replies.

I don’t mind but you really didn’t have to do that Maria says.

Everyone that’s important to my baby is important to me Ethan says and got up from the table when the doorbell rang.

It was the clothes that he ordered.

Mel and Maria went closer to have a look and saw some really nice items. Mel helped Maria to choose a long sun dress with a hat and sandals. She chose a short dress for her with sandals as well.

Baby there is more than enough clothes on here to choose from. Don’t just go for one outfit. I got the ladies out to supply you and Maria with more than one outfit Ethan says.

Thank you love we will see what else we like on here Mel says and started looking for more clothes for Maria.

Mama I like this for you too she says.

It is really nice but I don’t want to come across as taking over my child Maria complaint.

Ethan will never think of you that way mama.

I don’t want him to think that I’m here because I want to gain something Maria says.

Mama don’t say that, I told you that I want you to stay with me please don’t ever think that way again Mel says and hugged Maria.

You’ve been good to me all those years when I was in the orphanage Mel says.

I just don’t want to be in your way, I can be one of the servants so that I can pay for my place to stay Maria says.

Mama I will never let you do such work again. Let’s talk after this okay Mel says and looked at the clothes again.

Okay dear Maria says and she searched for clothes as well.

Ethan was pleased when he came back into the room and the ladies left with less clothes that they came with.

I see you ladies had a very good time, nice I like your new look Maria Ethan says.

Thank you Ethan but this was really possible because of you. I really can’t remember when last I got myself something new she says and looked down.

Don’t worry Maria you here with us now and we will do our best to see to you Ethan says and gave the older woman a little side hug.

You make me feel so welcome in your home Ethan Maria says.

Baby mama says that some guys came to look for me just after I left the orphanage years ago. They told her it was regarding a policy that was made into my name Mel says.

Did they leave any card or details of the company with you Maria? Ethan asks.

Here is the details baby mama gave it to me last night at the party Mel says.

I will see if I can find out something for you love Ethan says and kissed her forehead. I will be in the study love he says.

We will go for our spa treatment Mel replies with a smile.

That’s perfect sweetheart he replies.

I will make sure the cook makes something really nice for tonight Ethan says. Do you want me to get the kids here later baby? he asks.

That is a brilliant idea love, thank you sweetheart she replies.

They left the house to go and shopping and Mel was so excited to be with Maria after so many years.

Mama, Mel says.

I know you don’t want to be a burden to us but I also want you to believe me when I say you not Mel say.

But if there is any money available to me from those policy people then I will buy you a house close to me Mel promised.

Really? Maria ask.

Yes mama I mean this and hope that there is money so that I can do something for you. Maybe it won’t be big or maybe I will design you something nice. I just hope that there is something that my parents left for me she says.

I need to do something you know, I cannot sit and expect of you to give me money for all my needs Maria says.

Yes I can look after you mama but if you insist I will see what you can do for us at the office okay? Mel suggested.

That would really make me very happy Maria says and then Mel’s phone rang just as they stopped at the spa.

Yes my love Mel says when she answered the phone.

Mel I spoke to someone in the company and they would like to speak to you as soon as possible my love Ethan says.

It sounds very serious baby she replies.

Apparently your father took a policy out and you were the beneficiary my darling. This is for a good sum of money he replies.

What are we looking at love? she asks.

It’s ten million baby without the interest. They still need to add that as well he replies.

What? Mel ask.

Maria was in shock and thought something terrible has happened. What happened child? Sher ask.

I told him you can maybe meet him after your appointment with Maria Ethan says.

Yes baby that sounds perfect Mel says softly.

Baby are you okay? Ethan ask.

I’m okay love I will see you then okay she replies and cut the call.

Mama my parents left me more than enough money to get you that house Mel says and started crying.

Don’t cry my child Maria says. Everything will be okay.

Yes mama, it will be Mel replies and they entered the spa.
